sounds awesome. freddie mercury is, IMO, the best vocalist of all time. big shoes for borat. what do you think?
With Queen being one of the most influential bands to ever have existed, it should come as no surprise that a movie featuring these legends is going to be made. The movie's screenplay will be written by Peter Morgan (famous for films such as "Frost/Nixon- and "The Queen-) and will contain the band's history up until the famous Live Aid concert in 1985. And who better to play the role of singer Freddie Mercury than.. Borat?!
It has been revealed that the actor who is going to play Freddie Mercury is none other than Sacha Baron Cohen, an actor famous for his ridiculous roles as Borat and Ali G. Guitarist Brian May says that although the choice of actor may seem slightly surprising to some people, Sacha Baron Cohen has actually been in contact with them for quite some time.
Graham King of GK Film also seems supportive and confident of the choice, saying: "Queen is one of the greatest rock bands of all time and a music brand all unto itself. Freddie Mercury was an awe-inspiring performer, so with Sacha in the starring role coupled with Peter's screenplay and the support of Queen, we have the perfect combination to tell the real story behind their success-.
Brian May, along with Queen drummer Roger Taylor, will personally oversee the music in the film, which will contain a combination of both Queen hits along with some of Freddie Mercury's own solo material.
Any movie that features the music of Queen in guaranteed to have a great soundtrack, and it be will interesting to see how Sacha handles himself in the role of the legendary frontman in what will surely be a good movie.
